Temporal integration of loudness, loudness discrimination, and the form of the loudness function.
Temporal integration for loudness of 5-kHz tones was measured as a function of level between 2 and 60 dB SL. Absolute thresholds and levels required to produce equal loudness were measured for 2-, 10-, 50-, and 250-ms tones using adaptive, two-interval, two-alternative forced-choice procedures. The procedure for loudness balances was new and employed ten interleaved tracks to obtain concurrent ...
متن کاملLoudness and Loudness Discrimination Revisited
We present evidence that the psychophysical function relating loudness to sound pressure is governed by a nonlinear gain control system, one of whose functions is to protect the sensory system from overload. Specifically, the loudness function is altered nonlinearly when loud sounds are added in an identification task previously containing only soft sounds but not vice
متن کاملModifications to the Power Function for Loudness
This paper reviews recent findings on the form of the loudness function for mid-frequency tones. Loudness matches between pure tones and tone complexes with equal-SL components show that loudness at threshold exceeds zero and that the loudness function approaches a power function with asymptotic exponent (re intensity) somewhat greater than unity at levels well below threshold. They also show t...
متن کاملSpectro-Temporal Weighting of Loudness
Real-world sounds like speech or traffic noise typically exhibit spectro-temporal variability because the energy in different spectral regions evolves differently as a sound unfolds in time. However, it is currently not well understood how the energy in different spectral and temporal portions contributes to loudness. This study investigated how listeners weight different temporal and spectral ...
متن کاملThe Measurement of Loudness
This paper reviews the available evidence (published and unpublished) on the relation between loudness and stimulus intensity. The e. vidence suggests that for the typical listener the loudness L of a 1000-cycle tone can be approximated by a power function of intensity I, of which the exponent is log•02. The equation is: L--kI ø.a. Intensity here is assumed to be proportional to the square of t...
